AgPlus has unveiled the first prototype of the handheld diagnostics analytical platform.
The AgPlus Diagnostics platform utilises electrochemical immunoassay technology in a patented microfluidic chip format.
The signalling and measurement system, based on the detection of amplified silver ions by anodic stripping voltammetry, allows extremely sensitive, accurate and quantifiable results to be obtained from a very small sample volume (50µl) within minutes.
The system does not rely on an optical based detection method, so no sample preparation is required, making it ideal for multiple sample types and for testing in a range of settings.
The AgPlus Troponin I assay is currently showing a range of .1ng/ml – 50ng/ml with CVs <20% in a non-optimised format with assay run times of 10 minutes.
